Our Story

Meet Dr. Cotten D.C., a dedicated Chiropractor whose journey into chiropractic care was deeply rooted in personal experience. From battling chronic ailments like severe ear infections and asthma since childhood to enduring debilitating headaches in adulthood, her life was marked by pain, inhalers, and antibiotics.

Dr. Cotten firmly believes in addressing the body's unique needs to solve the puzzle of health. Drawing from her chiropractic experience, she developed the UC score, evaluating movement, the musculoskeletal system, and the nervous system to identify underlying causes of illnesses.

The UC score, created through her personal journey, aims to reveal the path forward for your health restoration.

Our Approach

We specialize in analyzing specific areas of your neck and the rest of your spine which allows us to give specific, chiropractic adjustments to your upper cervical spine as well as other areas of your spine if and when needed.

We do this by analyzing and going over your high resolution CBCT x-rays, your posture, and lastly, with your spinal examination, we tailor your care recommendations solely to you.

The brain controls all messages to every cell in the body, including messages of health and healing. The upper cervical vertebrae atlas and the axis directly affect the spinal cord and the control centers of the brain. If the atlas and axis are not aligned, the brain cannot communicate properly with the rest of the body.

Our Team

Behind the scenes, our support staff plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless and positive experience for our patients. From the moment you walk in, our friendly front desk team is here to assist you with scheduling, paperwork, and any inquiries you may have. Our administrative team works diligently to create a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who enters our office.
